Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of https://t.co/DLpVpnsuOv, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.

The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts.

Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website.

Please see the list of hurricane shelters in South West St. Elizabeth.

If you or your family need shelter, don’t hesitate to go.

Your life is far more important than the things we sometimes stay home to protect. 🙏🏾

Discussions were centred on strengthening bilateral trade relations, with a focus on expanding opportunities for trade in goods and services and encouraging greater investment. The Ministers also exchanged views on South–South cooperation, including training and capacity building in port development and logistics, and explored areas for cooperation in security.

At the #UNCTAD XVI Ministerial Round Table on Reimagining Trade, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator the Honourable @kaminajmsith positioned Jamaica’s interests in expanding trade in services, which is central to the 2030 National Development Plan.

The Foreign Minister also noted its role in driving export diversification, job creation, innovation and resilience for Jamaica and other Small Island Developing States (SIDS). She further outlined Jamaica’s efforts to strengthen its position in the global digital economy, highlighting the country’s progress in developing a digital services hub, backed by strategic investments in infrastructure, telecommunications, skills training and entrepreneurship support.

Minister Johnson Smith participated in the round table alongside representatives from Mozambique, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan and the UN Economic Commission for Europe, and exchanged views on shaping a global trade agenda with development and sustainable growth at its core.

The platform also allowed Jamaica to express appreciation of UNCTAD’s tailored support for SIDS and encouraged greater visibility of its successful programmes. On that note, Minister Johnson Smith also expressed Jamaica’s readiness to deepen collaboration in areas such as e-trade, trade facilitation, sustainable infrastructure and climate adaptation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade has triumphed in its first round of the 2024 Public Sector Debate Competition, which was officially launched on May 15.

In a riveting face-off with the Real Estate Board, our team skilfully debated the moot: “Be it resolved that Jamaica should have regional municipal corporations instead of the current system.”

We are also thrilled to announce that Mr. Brandon Crooks was honoured as ‘Best Speaker’ at the end of the round.

Join us in congratulating our talented team by liking and sharing this post!
